Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together
HOME
Thought for the week:​​
John 16:13 “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”
The Holy Spirit helps us understand and apply God's truth to our lives as we grow in Him.
Jesus was explaining to the disciples about that which the Spirit would do for them and as a result they later came to a new and deeper understanding of what Jesus said and did. This deeper understanding is reflected in the epistles and other writings of the New Testament. We can see something similar happening in us.
When we are eager to know Jesus and to please Him, the Holy Spirit will surely guide us nearer and nearer to our LORD.
This is one of several passages where Jesus reveals who is and who the Holy Spirit is.
Previously in John 14 v 9, Jesus says that if you have seen him you have seen God the Father. Jesus spoke “All Truth’s” and here in chapter 16 it is made clear that the Holy Spirit helps with recall and guides the believer into the implications of those truths.
God isn’t remote. The Spirit not only makes the Son known but also makes known God the Father, who is revealed in the Son. M.M.
